An exhibition of J.M.W. Turner’s intimate and erotic images opens in his former home in Twickenham on Saturday July 9th, thanks to a generous loan from Tate.
This small-scale yet significant exhibition offers a rare chance to consider the artist's engagement with the naked female form. It will consider how the private work in his sketchbooks and on paper inform his finished canvases and evolving creative process, while providing invaluable insight into the man and particularly his attitude to and relationships with women.
Between the Sheets represents a unique opportunity for the public to see the artist, famed for his dramatic sea and landscapes, private, erotic, small-scale work in an equally intimate environment – the exhibition space is in the smaller bedroom of the house Turner himself designed.
Open to the public from Saturday 9th July until Sunday 30th October 2022, Wednesday to Sunday 10am to 4pm. Prebooking is essential via turnershouse.org. Turner’s House, Sandycombe Lodge, 40 Sandycoombe Road, St Margarets, Twickenham TW1 2LR.
